Now my whole world is tinted with you.
Yeah, you colour everything that I do. (x)

genderific:

But really. It’s like, Clara tries to get Ed’s attention but he’s too focused on his computer screen, which is especially annoying because he’s usually watching her out of the corner of his eye, so what gives really? So she locks him into her shop to teach him a lesson, and then goes upstairs to…

"Marry your best friend. I do not say that lightly. Really, truly find the strongest, happiest..."

Sat, 08 Jun 2013 17:02:50 -0430

“Marry your best friend. I do not say that lightly. Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark.”

Sad Cat Diaries (x)

I feel ya brothers.

WHO IS REBLOGGING MY CAT REBLOGGING ME REBLOGGING SAD CAT DIARY ENTRIES OMG YOU GUYS

Neville’s entries would just all be:

Day 1- I have noticed some sort of animal or toy attached to the human’s lower limbs. I will attempt to remove them from the human for her protection.

Day 5- attempts to remove the animal from the human continue to fail, try as hard as I might to bite it off. I’m worried the human cannot be saved.

Day 11- a strange thing has occurred. In my attempts to remove the animal from the human the close proximity to this unknown creature has filled me with the oddest desire and longing. Unclear what this might mean.

Day 26- I find myself sneaking into the human’s bed while she sleeps to make love to the creature that is slowly sucking the life out of her. All attempts of removal are now for a different purpose. I long that we may finally, truly be alone. The human always seems to interrupt us right when things are getting good.

Day 52- it’s like the human doesn’t ever want me to be happy. The creature sheds it’s skin, which I seek after and hide as a momento of our love, but the human continues to steal them back from me. What’s worse, the human seems content to forever continue on with this creature attached to her lower limbs. I fear I shall never find happiness. All current attempts to rescue the creature from the human are met with attacks from the water machine. I wish I was not so cowardly. I am the creature’s only hope. We are both doomed to a life of misery.

. . . And Other Duties as Assigned

. . . And Other Duties as Assigned:

patrondebris:

Artwork by John LeMasney, lemasney.com.

Some days (or weeks, or months) it’s hard to feel like I’m accomplishing anything. There’s always so much to do, and it’s hard to feel that there’s progress when the tasks—even when they’re fun—are repetitive. As soon as I finish a book order, I start another book order. We are also doing some realignment at my library, which made me really think about what it is I actually do at work. So I’m taking a step back and listing my current job duties here—both because they may soon change, and because sometimes I need a reminder of how much I actually accomplish for my job.

I’m a reference librarian, which means I spend 4-5 hours a day on desk, five or six days a week (unless I’m working on a Friday), helping people. I’m finding patrons books and other materials, pointing them toward the bathroom and the exit, fielding microfilm requests and helping people use our venerable machines, recommending books, and helping patrons fill out those horrifically complicated online job applications or teaching them how to upload a profile picture to Facebook. At the same time, I’m checking the tables and disposing of trash, picking up books and stacking them on the cart for counting use and reshelving, keeping my eye out for patrons who look like they might need help, and trying to get other work done as I can while still looking approachable at the desk.

Whether I’m on desk or not, I am responsible for:

Collection management (ordering, replacing, moving from “new” status to the regular stacks, weeding) for parts of the nonfiction collection that include more than 25,000 items in a variety of subject areas.

Collection management of more than 26,000 paperbacks across 10 locations. This includes taking in stacks of donations and evaluating their suitability for the collection.

Collection management for the adult graphic novel collection at my library and six branches.

Collection management for the system’s young adult video game collection, housed at two locations.

Teaching two or more classes (usually Computer Basics and Microsoft Excel) for up to 14 students each two-month session of computer classes, and assisting my co-workers with their classes.

Keeping the paperback display area stocked with books and changing it monthly. It’s a bit big for one theme, so I usually do one on each half. I also do the National Poetry Month display.

Gathering materials and sending them to my two homebound patrons.

Ordering the few museum passes that the library offers and keeping them up to date.

Pursuing continuing education opportunities—attending and presenting at conferences, etc.

Maintaining a stream of information on the library’s Google+ page.

…and other duties as assigned, which includes any number of things they don’t teach you in library school.

I don’t know what the future holds, but my five-year anniversary at this library is this month. I’ve added a lot of responsibilities since I started working here, and have come to feel very proprietary about my work and my library. I will try to continue challenging myself by taking on new projects, presenting, and talking about what I’m doing, but I also want to balance that with my desire to help library patrons—with whatever they need—on a one-on-one basis. My collection development responsibilities are very important to me as well.

I know they say libraries can’t be all things to all people, but when it comes down to ME, I want to do it all. And hey, that’s a lot of stuff that I juggle every day! I am proud of myself—and will bookmark this post for those days when it feels like nothing is getting done.

So I watched Star Trek Into Darkness today and there’s this scene where one of the characters asks Benedicts character “Who are you?” and I swear I heard at least ten people in the cinema whisper “I’m the real”

Uh oh. Just found out Sanditon already has a bookstore/ cafe. I don’t want to duplicate stuff, so Emma’s may just have to become something else.

In the meantime… I really SHOULD finish that Perspective piece for Darceny, you know.

Sanditon: Businesses and Essentials

Sat, 11 May 2013 10:53:27 -0430

So after getting over the fact that we actually get to populate the town in which Gigi Darcy and Pemberley Digital are launching their newest initiative, I started thinking of all the possible businesses/ necessities. I came across this list of some essentials for every town, and… well.

Now I’m creating a bookstore with a rooftop cafe. It’s just called Emma’s, and is run by Emmaline Woodhouse (no, sorry, couldn’t help myself)

So enjoy this list of Autenite names for other locales:

Nature Parks/ Resorts/ etc: Wuthering Heights
Inns: Crown Inn, The Abbey
General location/house names: Manderley, Wickstead, Kellynch, Rosings, Hartfield, Norland, Sotherton, Mansfield (Park), Donwell (Abbey)
Remember, you can use character names for stores, businesses, etc.
Orchard/ etc.: Maple Grove

Also, we Sanditonians can REALLY use some guys around. #hinthint

leslielikesthings:

Guys guys guys! I’ve been thinking too much again, and you all know crazy stuff can happen in my brain if I let it. So Sanditon is a tourist beach town, trying to encourage visitors, right? What if, a few episodes down the road, Gigi meets a young tourist named Emma Woodhouse, or Catherine…
